One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words-Chapter 193 Give Whitebeard A Fight, A Battle Will Determine Life And Death!
Chapter 193 - 193 Give Whitebeard A Fight, A Battle Will Determine Life And Death!
"You're going to die right here!"
"How dare you come to the Whitebeard Pirates to send a letter of challenge? You're too arrogant!"
"Where do you think this is? You're dead today!"
Enel's arrogant attitude made the Whitebeard Pirates furious.
The crowd was enraged, and more than a thousand pirates were ready to kill.
As soon as they received an order from the captain, everyone would rush forward and cut Enel into pieces.
"Let him come here."
Suddenly, Whitebeard's voice rang out.
"Father, are you sure?"
Joz, who was standing next to Whitebeard, hesitated a little. He feared that Enel might have some tricks up his sleeve.
"Gu la la la la, it's fine, let him come over."
Whitebeard laughed boldly. "That brat, Lucifer, isn't the type to play tricks."
Although he was the enemy, Whitebeard still admired Lucifer.
He had never met Lucifer personally, but he understood Lucifer's character well. He wasn't a despicable person who would play tricks.
Many pirates parted ways, allowing Enel to walk toward Whitebeard.
As Enel moved through the crowd, facing the fierce pirates around him, his expression remained unchanged, showing courage and boldness.
Finally, Enel reached Whitebeard.
It was the first time Enel had seen the former number one in the world. Whitebeard's enormous size and overwhelming presence made Enel's heart skip a beat.
With just one glance, Enel already knew he was no match for the old man in front of him.
"Little devil, bring the letter."
Whitebeard said, looking down at Enel.
Enel grinned, pulled a letter from his pocket, and tossed it to Whitebeard.
The letter was wrapped in lightning, and in a flash, Whitebeard caught it.
Such a small trick, of course, had no effect on Whitebeard.
This time, Whitebeard didn't tear up the letter because it was from after the war.
After reading the gauntlet, Whitebeard suddenly laughed wildly.
"So la la la la la! Lucifer, that brat, is really arrogant!"
"Father, what did the letter say?" Marco asked urgently.
"It's nothing. Just the time and place for the decisive battle."
Whitebeard tossed the gauntlet to Marco, then turned to Enel. "Go back and tell Lucifer that Laozi agrees."
"Seven days from now, a battle to determine life and death!"
"Good!"
Enel grinned and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Ace among the crowd.
"You're Fire Fist, right? You really have nine lives to survive Shiryu's hands."
"You're the first to escape the pursuit of the Nether Pirates."
"But hiding in the Whitebeard Pirates won't save you. I hope you won't run away in seven days!"
"Don't worry, I won't run away!"
Ace stepped forward and growled, "In seven days, I'll cut off Lucifer's head with my own hands and make him pay the price he deserves!"
"Hahahaha, the tone of a mere brat is quite loud."
Enel chuckled instead of getting angry.
A rookie claiming he'd cut off Lucifer's head was a big joke to him.
"If you can do it, try it."
With that, Enel transformed into a bolt of lightning and soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
When two armies are at war, they won't resort to beheading.
Although killing Enel could weaken the strength of the Nether Pirates now, Whitebeard would obviously never do such a despicable thing.
Wanokuni Prison, Mine.
A group of pirates was working here, doing manual labor.
They were all pirates who weren't strong enough. Even after they surrendered to Lucifer, he didn't want them, so they were left here to mine.
Among the group of pirates, two were particularly conspicuous.
One was Quinn, whose body was very fat, like a meatball.
As he mined, the fat on his body trembled, and every time he moved, sweat poured off like rain.
"Damn Lucifer, making me do this labor. I'll make him pay for this!"
Every time Quinn swung the pickaxe, he would curse under his breath.
"Alright, Quinn, now's not the time to complain."
"People under the eaves have to bow their heads."
Next to her was a beautiful woman, about the same size as Quinn; she was Black Maria.
Quinn glanced around, feeling dejected.
It turned out that he was in charge of the Rabbit Bowl Prison, where he had always watched others mining and doing manual labor from above.
But today, it was his turn to mine and work as a laborer.
"When will Lucifer come back? Laozi can't take it anymore."
Quinn had wanted to surrender to Lucifer a long time ago, but Lucifer hadn't returned. Even if he wanted to surrender, he couldn't find anyone to report to.
Seeing the group of weak pirates controlling him from above, Quinn felt a deep discomfort.
Just as Quinn was complaining, Lucifer's voice suddenly rang out.
"You're doing well here, Quinn."
Quinn turned his head and immediately saw Lucifer on the high platform.
"With all the fat on your body, how can you be serious about working as a laborer every day?"
Quinn almost wanted to cry.
After all the time spent digging pits and working as a laborer, his weight had dropped significantly.
"Not serious? So what is serious, then?"
"Lucifer, I surrender! Let me out!"
Quinn wasn't as tough as Jhin and didn't plan on going down with Kaido.
Seeing Lucifer approach, he begged for mercy.
Lucifer glanced at Quinn, then at Black Maria. "What about you? Miss Black Maria?"
Black Maria smiled dryly and said, "Of course I'm willing to surrender. Please take me in, Master Lucifer."
Lucifer smiled slightly. "I like smart people like you."
"Come here, uncuff them."
"Understood!"
The two pirates stepped forward and uncuffed Quinn and Black Maria, releasing them from the Seastone restraints.
Regaining his freedom and strength, Quinn couldn't help but yell with excitement.
It felt liberating; the discomfort of being restrained by Seastone handcuffs had been unbearable.
"Get ready. We'll be going to war with the Whitebeard Pirates soon."
"If you don't want to die, get yourself in shape as quickly as possible."
With that, Lucifer disappeared, leaving no trace.
Quinn and Black Maria exchanged a look, feeling a bit speechless.
This was too sudden.
Just after being released from prison, they were about to go into battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, and they weren't prepared at all.
The large-scale mobilization of the Nether Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't possibly escape the attention of the Marine Headquarters.
At the same time, Sengoku received Lucifer's letter of challenge to the Whitebeard Pirates through an undercover agent.
The two Four Emperors pirate groups had decided to go to war, and the Marine Headquarters began to act.
Marineford, Marine Large Conference Room.
A battle conference of the highest level was being held.
Sengoku looked around and said, "Everyone, we've received reliable information that Lucifer is preparing to fight Whitebeard!"
"Where and when will the war start?" asked a Marine Vice Admiral.
"That's still unclear. Our undercover agents are doing everything they can to find out."
Sengoku's undercover status in the Nether Pirates wasn't high—he was just a small captain—so he couldn't gather the exact details on the time and place of the battle.
Lucifer also knew there was an undercover Marine in his pirate group, but he didn't care and didn't take action against it.
A few undercover agents wouldn't affect the overall situation.
As long as their strength was great enough, Lucifer could still act with force, regardless of how much internal information got leaked!
"Although we don't know the time and place yet, it's always wise to prepare early."
Sengoku continued, "The World Government has ordered the entire Marine Headquarters army to mobilize for this. We will wipe out Lucifer completely."
"If the opportunity arises, we'll eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time!"
"If both the Nether Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates can be wiped out, the New World pirate power will be insignificant."
"That will give us Marines a chance to eradicate the pirate threat once and for all!"
At the thought of such a potential victory, many Marine executives in the conference room grew excited.
Sengoku said, "To ensure victory, I've ordered the Shichibukai to be summoned."
"With their participation, our chances of winning will be much better."
"Shichibukai? Are they trustworthy?"
"A bunch of scum from the seas—how do we know they won't betray us to Lucifer?"
Some hawkish Marine Vice Admirals expressed disgust.
None of them trusted the Shichibukai very much.
While the Shichibukai were a force under the Marine banner, they were, at the end of the day, a lawless group of villains.
Given the chance, Marine Headquarters would be happy to eradicate them as well.
This was the absolute justice that the hawkish Marines believed in.
